VC poured $4.8 billion into healthcare infrastructure companies last year.
Not into clinics.
Not into care.
Into the billing layer.
The EHR layer.
The revenue cycle layer.
They did not “invest” in healthcare.
They’re invested in the toll booth between the physician and the payment.
99.9% of VC money doesn’t treat patients.
It invoices them.
Three PBMs control 80% of prescription volume. Three wholesalers control 90% of distribution.
The physician who actually prescribed the drug controls 0% of the margin.
In any other industry, we’d call this a cartel.
In healthcare, we call it the supply chain.
Same thing.
Better branding.
@SouthwestAir@M_Sabelhaus Southwest, why is this flooded with poor comments toward your new practices? And why do your responses come off as if you could care less? Have not flown in a bit, but up to now you were my first choice.
This will help you understand why the big PBMs are bad.
You can go to https://t.co/PaVuij8agA and buy a GLP1 for under $500 and falling. It's cheaper, because no PBM is involved
Your company, uses a big PBM for your pharmacy benefits. It charges your company $1300 for a GLP1, which means you pay $1300 during your deductible phase. The PBM then gives the rebate it gets, from the money you paid, to your company.
And it won't allow you to buy the GLP1 from lilly direct.
No PBM < $500. Big PBM $1300
This is one of many reasons you should show this to your CEO and tell them to switch away from their PBM
Chauncey Billups down by 5 and with his team on a 10-0 run pulled his top 2 scorers in the 4th quarter. One of them had 37 pts so far. These games weren't chance or skill. Pathetic.
Americans are getting crushed by health insurance with monthly payments of $1500, $1700, and over $2000 per month.
Instead of a revolving door of foreign government leaders to the White House, I’d like to see Health Insurance CEOs in there getting chewed out on live television.
Health Insurance is out of control!!!
